Winning and losing is practically irrelevant now to the Miami Heat, because the slates get wiped clean when the regular season starts in about two weeks.

Still, there's a tangible sense of urgency coming from Heat coach Stan Van Gundy these days - not based on his team's 1-2 preseason record, but stemming from the high-turnover, offensively troubled brand of basketball the club has displayed in those exhibitions.

The Heat are averaging 22.7 turnovers per game in the preseason, which continues on Tuesday night at home against the Orlando Magic. Miami is shooting 31.7 percent from 3-point range, 61.9 percent from the foul line, and the Heat are playing far from the level Van Gundy would prefer to see two weeks into training camp.

"What we have is a lot of guys capable of making plays," Van Gundy said Monday. "And what happens a lot is every guy who has the ball is trying to make that play and there's nobody just willing to make a simple play and throw the ball back on a pick and roll and let the offense develop and make the defense move."

With all the new faces - including Antoine Walker, Jason Williams, Gary Payton and James Posey - joining holdovers like Dwyane Wade, Shaquille O'Neal and Udonis Haslem, the Heat expected to deal with some inevitable growing pains while trying to figure out how all the new pieces will fit together.

For their part, players seem largely unworried about the preseason problems.

"You can't go to a red alert right now. You can't call 911," Payton said. "You've got to let it all happen. We've got 82 games. It's good that we've got these eight preseason games. We've been through three, we've got five more. We've got a lot of time to focus. We're going to be OK. We're going to be fine."
